Chapter 304: The Straw Boat Borrows Arrows
Since Yuan Shao needed Qin Feng's help to fight against Gongsun Zan together, he was afraid that Qin Feng would have some ghost ideas and it would be difficult for him to refuse. At the end of September, when it was cold by the river, he wrapped his body in a big coat and said carefully: "Brother Zijin? ”
Qin Feng figured it out, so he smiled and said: "Brother Benchu, the junior brother has a plan, if the elder brother uses it, he will definitely be able to break Gongsun Zhan's Panhe camp." ”
Yuan Shao was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly remembered the second of the three things.
These three things were specially formulated by Yuan Shao for Qin Feng, and the second of them is that everything Qin Feng instigated himself to do, he must not do it, and he must not make wedding dresses for others. (See Chapter 236)
He couldn't help muttering, "I will never listen to your plan." However, he still couldn't help but be curious, and wanted to hear it, so he said, "Brother Xian, please tell me ......." ”
"That's ......." In order to sell it for a good price, Qin Feng tempted: "Bows and arrows are sharp weapons for war, if Gongsun Chan doesn't have a bow and arrows, I don't know what will happen?" ”
Yuan Shao sneered, and said in his heart that you are embarrassed to ask me about this three-year-old child. He immediately extended it, showing his military prowess, and said: "The river is so deep that it is impossible for the enemy to wade through it. Without their bows and arrows, our army would have been able to reflect on the river and cross it easily. And Gongsun Chan lost the advantage of the bow and arrow, and our army was able to easily break through his camp. ”
Qin Feng nodded, and said in his heart that you understand. He smiled and said, "Now I have a plan, which can consume a large amount of Gongsun Zhan's bow and arrow reserves." ”
"What's the strategy?" Yuan Shao immediately forgot about the three things and immediately asked.
Qin Feng saw that he had taken the bait, so he said, "If this plan is successful." Gongsun Chan must be defeated, so spoils. The little brother smiled politely. ”
Yuan Shao is a smart person, and when he heard the words, he knew that this was a quid pro quo. That's a tough condition. He thought for a moment and said, "You speak out first, and if it is feasible, everything is easy to say...... ”
Qin Feng is not a hypocritical person, so he made a wise appearance like Zhuge Liang, and said confidently: "This plan is called borrowing arrows from grass boats, just like this...... Tie up the straw man, so and so...... Marching with drums. In the foggy world, Gongsun Chan does not know what to do, and he will definitely use arrows to retreat from the enemy's ....... And so it goes. The goal was achieved. ”
Yuan Shao was not alone, and there were several strategists behind him. Among them, Guo Tu immediately smiled and said, "Zijin Gong's plan is very wonderful...... ”
Yuan Shao immediately glared at him, and said in his heart, "You are big!" How can Qin Zijin's ghost idea be credulous, how much I lost from him do you know if I know. Cao Mengde has not been able to fully occupy Gunzhou so far, because he joined forces with the Qin army to pursue Dong Zhuo, who retreated to Chang'an, half a year ago, and suffered the secret loss of Qin Zijin and lost 20,000 soldiers and horses.
However, Yuan Shao was still moved. He remembered the third of the three things: If Qin Feng doesn't do anything, he must not do it! Because Qin Feng is a monkey spirit-like thing, what he doesn't do looks good on the surface. It must be a trap too!
If you think about this article in reverse, it can also be understood in this way: if Qin Feng does it, it must be beneficial. I'm going to rush to do it.
So Yuan Shao's heart moved, and he smiled: "This plan is wonderful." It's safe again, since it's a virtuous brother who came up with it. If the virtuous brother goes to arrange, he must be ...... nine out of ten. ”
Holy! Qin Feng secretly scolded this Yuan Benchu for being really careful. However, he was very confident, because this was a plan that Zhuge Liang came up with, and in addition, the grass boat borrowed arrows, 100,000 arrows. Since Yuan Shao didn't want it, Qin Feng thought he was laughing. So he said, "That's fine, when the straw man is ready, I will go to ...... in the middle of the night." ”
Yuan Shao agreed when he saw Qin Feng so happily, and began to mumble again, "Is there really no turning point here?" Let's let Qin Zijin try ...... first. ”
The natural environment of the Eastern Han Dynasty is very good, the water source is sufficient, and there is no pollution, so although the Pan River is not as good as the Yangtze River, the river surface in this section is not small.
The night, coupled with the fog, really stretched out his fingers, and even the person with the torch could not see his feet clearly.
On the Pan River, Zhao Yun personally led more than 300 elite soldiers to drive more than 100 small boats and quietly sailed to the opposite bank. The boat was full of scarecrows, and in the middle of these scarecrows, there were two rowers, and one person was holding a drumstick in his hand and sitting in the middle of the boat.
They were all dressed in armor and covered by a scarecrow, so there was no danger even when it was time to release the arrows.
Shore
"Brother Xian, this is too simple, can you trick Gongsun Chan into releasing arrows?" Yuan Shao was skeptical.
This was Zhuge Kongming's strategy, so Qin Feng was full of confidence and said: "The fog is thick, Gongsun Chan will definitely order the arrows to be released if our army will attack the shore defense line." ”
The two watched as the fleet disappeared into the fog.
Qin Feng ordered Huwei to arrange the tables, chairs and seats, and called for wine, and said: "Brother Benchu, come, sit down and drink to keep warm, and wait for the good news to ......." ”
Yuan Shao was in doubt, so he sat down to drink with Qin Feng, and looked at the river from time to time, it was white and cloudy, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
……
On the fifth watch that night, Zhao Yun led the fleet and gradually came to the center of the river. When he heard about this strategy earlier, he was also skeptical, because this had never happened in the art of war since ancient times. However, he did his duty, and when the boats had crossed the middle of the river, he ordered the boats to line up everywhere.
He beat the drums himself in his own boat, and all the ships listened to the call of his ship, and they beat the drums along with it.
For a time, more than 100 big drums rumbled and the sound of unison was earth-shattering.
Yuan Shao, who was on the shore, heard such a hundred drums contending, and there was darkness all around, so he couldn't help but put down his wine glass in horror and said: "Brother Zijin, if Gongsun Chan sends troops to drive a boat to fight, what can I do?" ”
Qin Feng drank the wine in his cup and said: "Gongsun Chan has been newly defeated, and he no longer has the advantage of troops. He occupies the convenience of the riverbank, and in the thick fog he will not dare to send out ships, and he will definitely use bows and arrows to consume the strength of our army. Come, come, drink this cup, and soon the news will come. ”
Yuan Shao was flustered by the sound of drums, and reluctantly raised his wine glass and drank it all.
On the other hand, Gongsun Chan camp.
The sudden sound of drums and shouts, as if there were endless men and horses about to kill ashore, frightened the soldiers of Gongsun Zhan's army, and the night vigil Shan Jing hurriedly flew to Gongsun Zhan.
At this time, Liu Bei received the news, and hurriedly came to Gongsun Zhan's big tent, naturally followed by the inseparable Guan Yu Zhang Fei.
"Brother Bo Jue, this must be Qin Zijin and Yuan Shao who want to take advantage of the night to attack our army's riverbank defense line, and immediately send troops and horses to drive boats to intercept!" Liu Bei said.
Gongsun Zhan disagreed with Liu Bei, in his opinion, the dense fog was not conducive to his own defense, and it was also not conducive to the attack of the Qin and Yuan coalition forces. He said, "The fog is thick over the Pan River, and the enemy army suddenly arrives without warning, and I am afraid that there will be an ambush." The ships should not be moved lightly, and the bow battalion should be sent to the shore to shoot them before making plans. ”
The way he said to deal with this was the safest, and Liu Bei didn't say more.
Therefore, Gongsun Zhan ordered Shan Jing to lead 2,000 archers to the shore to release arrows, and at the same time ordered Liu Bei's three brothers to assist in the defense on the shore, and he himself sat in the big tent of the Chinese army.
The shore suddenly became lively, and when he brought two thousand archers to the place where the drums were most dense, he ordered the arrows to be released.
The archers actually couldn't see anything, but the leader asked them to release the arrows, so they just let them go. For a while, in the sound of roaring, arrows rained down, and they all sank into the darkness ahead.
Qin Feng's soldiers, listening to the sound of the wind breaking and the sound of Peng Peng shooting into the straw man, were very nervous at first, and even the drumming became much quieter for a while. However, after a while, he saw that the bow and arrow were blocked by the straw man, and there was no possibility of shooting at him. One by one, they became excited again, and said that the lord had a clever plan, so the drum beat again loudly.
Zhao Yun was overjoyed when he saw that the lord's plan had been completed, and immediately remembered the lord's previous instructions, and immediately ordered the ships to approach the shore and receive more arrows. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers on the ship to scream in order to confuse the other party.
Shan Jing on the shore first heard the sound of the drum quietly, thinking that the bow and arrow suppression had taken effect, and immediately ordered to speed up the release of arrows. Later, he heard the sound of drums, and thought that the enemy had another large force to kill him, so he immediately ordered to speed up the release of the arrows again.
When he heard the screams, he was overjoyed, and ordered the archers to release their arrows with all their might, and it was the first credit to win the alliance of Qin Yuan.
Liu Bei said happily on the shore: "Listening to this scream, I think there must have been a large number of casualties, this time, Qin Zijin and Yuan Shao's calculation of landing at night has failed, and the loss of troops has greatly benefited us!" ”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei thought so. Especially Guan Yu, when he thought of his cousin-in-law, he gritted his teeth at Qin Zijin, his reputation was ruined in the hands of Qin Zijin, I hope he is also on one of the ships, and he deserves to be shot.
When the news reached Gongsun Zhan, he smiled and yelled not to stop, shoot me.
The screams of the enemy were the most beautiful music, and the archers heard that the lord was yelling not to stop, so they shot so loudly that the soldiers carrying the bows and arrows were panting like tired dead dogs. They struggled to carry the arrows, but they were soon relieved because the bows and arrows were gone!
"Lord, the bow and arrow are gone!" Rush to return.
Gongsun Chan was taken aback, the bow and arrow were gone, and he had one less means to kill the enemy, but fortunately, he had killed and injured the enemy on a large scale, and it was not exhausted in vain. When he saw the heavenly general Fang Liang, he said: "Order the whole army to line up on alert, and when Qin Feng and Yuan Shao's soldiers go ashore, they will be wiped out on the shore in one go." ”
After all, the other side is wading in the water and cannot form a formation, and it is very advantageous for one's side to form a formation on the shore.
If it's in the game, it's 100% offensive and defensive because of the terrain.
However, he was so addicted to shooting that he couldn't stop at the moment, so he said: "Lord, there are still 10,000 rockets, should you shoot them together!" (To be continued......)
